Events in Rochdale - Business

Our next Rochdale Lunch is one of the "42 Action for Business" events that from now on will be included as part of your valuable Chamber membership.

At these new events we hope to improve and grow the trading between companies, especially within the Rochdale area, as well as obtaining your views on key issues affecting businesses in the area.

Chris Fletcher, Deputy Chief Executive of Greater Manchester Chamber will chair an interactive session on: • what issues businesses in Rochdale are currently facing? • how the Chamber is currently working to help business in Rochdale • and most importantly, what do YOU as businesses want us to lobby on your behalf?

So if you are a company based in Rochdale or simply do business in Rochdale, we would encourage you to attend the event to ensure your views are heard and acted upon.

So BOOK NOW for the opportunity to get your point of view across and also network with like-minded business people, make some new contacts and widen your contact base
